From the Pastor

 

Thanksgiving...

We in First Baptist Church have an abundance for which we can give God thanks every day. During the celebration of Thanksgiving Day, we are reminded again of God's goodness in all things. As we gather for worship on Sunday, we will offer thanks to God, we will offer heartfelt praise to our Savior, and open his Word. I hope to see you all Sunday!

 

Children's Ministry

As we continue to search for a full-time Minister to Children, I want first of all to thank all of our volunteers who are serving so well and faithfully. Even when we have a full-time minister, very little of our children's ministry will happen without volunteers who care to see our children come to know Christ. The Personnel Committee is working hard, believing calling a Minister to Children is a vitally important step for our families and our church overall. In the meantime, they have appointed a volunteer Children's Ministry Administration Team to help guide our ministry. Led by Kip Hooker, the team includes Ashley Smith, Elizabeth Willis, and Cindy Frenz. They are already working together and planning a great holiday season as you can see below.

Stocking Up on Love Christmas Project!

Awana's Christmas and Stocking Packing Party: Wednesday, December 13

Let's show the love and light of Christ to orphans in our area by giving needed wish list donations to Lowcountry Orphan Relief. 

 

You may pick up a stocking in the Welcome Center starting November 5th. The stocking will be filled with a list which includes a child's age and gender along with items that can be purchased. Typically, the list will include an outfit (shirt/pants), socks, underwear, shoes and specific toiletries.  This project is a means for LOR to replenish their distribution center with new items. You do not need to purchase everything on the slip... it's just a reference point so that LOR doesn't collect too many of the same items.

 

Donations may be dropped off in the Welcome Center through Wednesday, December 13, for the Awana's Christmas and Stocking Project Packing Party. Questions: Contact the church office or Walker: lori@fbcharleston.org or walker@fbcharleston.org)
